Solution of a multidimensional impact deformation problem for an elastic half-space with curved boundary on the basis of a modified ray method

详细

A generalization of the method for constructing approximate solutions of boundary value problems of impact deformation dynamics in the form of ray expansions for two-dimensional plane deformation problems is presented. For each shock wave, the solution near its front is determined on the basis of ray coordinates consistent with this wave. The nonlinear divergence of curvilinear rays is taken into account. A mechanism of transformation from one ray coordinate system to another, which is crucially important in the ray method, is described. The developed technique is illustrated by solving the impact deformation problem for a half-space with boundary of nonzero curvature.
